The best restaurants serving British food in Rottingdean Coastal Brighton and Hove South East

We were staying at the white horses hotel across the road but decided to pick up a takeaway breakfast so we could sit down by the beach. We went back for lunch and the cake and then breakfast the next day too!! The food is unreal!! The nicest breakfast I’ve ever had. The coffee is fantastic. And the cakes I will dream about……

Good ambience and beach views. Our £17 glass of champagne was served in a plastic glass! Nachos were tasty and fresh.

Absolutely wonderful spot on a sunny day. The best triple chocolate brownie served with well blended coffee. A superb hidden secret in Brighton Marina⁹

Traditional pub on the seafront at Rottingdean. Snug downstairs bar and an upstairs room with an attractive balcony. Real beer (mainly or entirely Harvey's) and a good selection of food. No parking. Bus stop (several routes) and (crowded) public car park nearby.

Found this lovely place while out walking, no inside seating but we were lucky it was a nice dry day, there is shelter to sit under, lots of dogs too which was good as we had ours. Nice cuppa coffee & a scone , only thing was butter was to hard & my scone all fell to pieces, although it was tasty.

Received a gift box of cheeses, cured meats and craft beers from The Great British Charcuterie. Some wonderful flavours all round, and as a gift it was all very well-wrapped and presented and delivered swiftly. Would definitely think of sending as a gift to someone else as a bit more unusual.

Muy útil en el centro cafe tarner. La comida tiene buena aunque no comimos. Yo tenía un servicio encantador y un chocolate caliente y sabrosa en un ambiente agradable para bebés

Awful flat white. Possibly the worse coffee I've ever drank. A kings ransom for bitter tasting slop.Left it all.Will never return

Following on from the owners reply to my review. There was nobody sitting anywher near me and when asked to turn off phone which was only just loud enough for me to hear I was happy to comply. I made a mistake in saying my laptop was plugged in. It was only my mobile which was being charged at the powersockets next to the table. They generally take about 3 watts of power. Again, I readily unplugged it when asked to by the man accusing me of "stealing electricity". He disappeared but came back when he saw my review accurately saying what had just transpired and asked me to leave. Which again I readily did; not wanting to stay in an environment with someone like that. I sat away from the cafe at empty picnic tables on a nearby golf course in the sun. Which is what tourists do when on holiday. About five minutes later the same character comes out and asks me to leave here claiming he also owns the golf course. The whole affair was reminiscent of scenes from Fawlty Towers!

Huge improvements in ambiance and quality of food since new management took over in October. Really friendly and welcoming staff, lovely beer garden and great music.

Fabulous ambience... pleasant staff. Unbelievable value and quality. A wonderful brunch ... not a place for those on a diet!!

I came for a roast on Sunday. I didn't have a booking but gentleman at the bar was very kind and found a place for me even at the busiest hour of the day. After ordering, I had my food on table in ten minutes, presentation was excellent and staff very helpful. Beef roast was the best I had in years, meat was fresh and soft, done to perfection. Veggies were divine and roast potatoes as well. Definitely worth the price. Will come back again...

If you want quality food and the best coffee the only place you need to visit is cafe zio

Très bon dîner dans ce pub de Rottingdean. Le Pimms (apéritif) est très bien préparé (beaucoup de fruits). Nous avons aussi apprécié les Linguines (crabe & gambas) ainsi que la salade saumon et crevettes (assiette très copieuse). Les desserts sont excellents mais les parts moins généreuses que celles des plats. A conseiller si vous souhaitez éviter les prix excessifs des restaurants du bord de mer.

I ate at this restaurant whilst staying in the attached hotel. Service was good and food was excellent. I visited on a Thursday evening when there was a ‘half price steak’ night which excellent value. The wine list was limited but with a good selection of options available.
